How to Elope on the Amalfi Coast

In this post...

All Articles

Positano, Ravello and Sorrento sit high on the cliffs above the sea, with hotel terraces and gardens looking out over the water. There are steps everywhere and the roads between the towns are slow, so we plan the timing of your day around them. Our Amalfi Coast elopement packages start at €10,808 for the two of you.

This guide covers the best time to go, how a legal or symbolic ceremony works, getting around, and what to book first.

Why choose the Amalfi Coast

The venues run from hotels on the coast to gardens in the hills and a private villa. You marry at the venue, and the day stays in that town. A boat is part of some packages, not every one.

The best time to go

April, May, September and October are the months most couples choose. The weather is warm, and the towns are quieter than in midsummer.

We plan July and August too, with the ceremony in the evening, when it’s cooler.

We can arrange an elopement at short notice if the venue is available, but the venues are popular and book up quickly. Most couples book 6 to 12 months ahead.

What to budget

Our Amalfi Coast elopement packages start at €10,808 for the two of you. Every venue has its own page, and on it our Package Builder shows everything that’s included, from a night or two at some of the hotels to the photography and flowers every package has. You can add extras, such as a videographer, more photography time or a legal ceremony, and the price updates as you choose. When it looks right, send it to us. We’ll email you a full breakdown, and one of our planners will be in touch about your date.

Legal or symbolic?

Most couples have a symbolic ceremony at their venue and complete the legal marriage at home. We can also arrange a legal ceremony in Italy. It needs more paperwork and more time, and the town hall fees are separate.

Where to marry

Our Amalfi Coast elopement packages are the venues we work with in Positano, Ravello and Sorrento. They run from hotels on the cliffs to gardens high in the hills. Some include a night or two at the hotel. Each page shows what’s included and the starting price for the two of you.

Getting around

The closest airport is Naples. From there, and between Positano, Ravello and Sorrento, the roads are slow, and there are steps in the towns. We plan the timing of your day around that.

What to book first

Start with your venue. Every package already includes the planning, the photography, the celebrant, hair and makeup and your flowers, so there’s no separate planner or photographer to find. Some of the hotels also include a night or two. Once you’ve chosen a venue, build your package on its page and send it to us. One of our planners will be in touch to ask about your date, and if you’re ready to go ahead, we’ll help you book the venue, which confirms your date.

Next step

When you’re ready to choose, our Amalfi Coast elopement packages show every venue we work with on the coast, from hotels on the cliffs to gardens high in the hills. Build your package on the venue’s page and send it to us, and one of our planners will be in touch to talk through your plans.
